For studios who go 4+ years without releasing a game, how do they keep themselves afloat?
Ask a Game Dev
AUGUST 28, 2023
It varies with the studio. The most common ways I've seen for studios to stay running between releases are: Take out loans. The studio borrows money, only pays the interest/minimum payment, and uses the rest to pay for development in hopes of paying the loans off when the game releases. Sell a stake in the studio. Investors may wish to buy a piece of a studio in hopes that it will become more valuable once the game releases.

Game developer tools

In Unity and other editors, I’m used to using IMGUI to create game debug windows: select a level, add money, append health, spawn an enemy… There are no such tools in cocos.

The purpose of asking about animation graph is to figure out how null is generated.because this null value never appear in lrot before.
